5E Lesson plan for individual and collaborative lessons
Attached above is the link for both lessons taught in my classroom. Both lessons targeted syllables and standard LLP2.3. One assignment was geared towards colalborative work, while another assignment was produced individually. My classroom is comprised of 9 typical children and 9 children with special needs. There ages range from 3-6 years old.
Individually, students worked with a partner to produce a sock puppet production using iPads and the sock puppet app. Students will establish the characters they want to participate in the production. Record questions less than 30 seconds long, and record answers concerning syllables less than 30 seconds long. Below is an example of the technology students will use. I uploaded one student’s creation to YouTube for sharing purposes for this assignment, but the production is saved easily on the iPad where the teacher can monitor what the students are creating. __https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=seg3amWmjzs__
RubiStar completed rubric for collaborative project using MyStory application
Through this assignment for me as a teacher, the objective was to evaluate students' technology proficiency and students' technology-based products within curricular areas. I was able to gauge the child's technology proficiency by them being able to complete the survey independently. The students were asked to log on to the website, select their grade level, and answer the questions. This particular student was proficient in all of those categories. The test was read aloud to the whole class, and students answered the questions with different types of smiley faces. By completing this survey, I as their teacher was able to gauge their use of age appropriate technology along with their products they produced throughout the collaborative and independent lessons.
Brief Reflection

Teaching syllables is one of my favorite concepts to teach. I am also so grateful to have a variety of technology tools to use while teaching at Munford Elementary School. Throughout both of the lessons taught, I was able to have students create work in pairs/individually and in small groups using some of my favorite apps available to us. One of my favorite apps to use is MyStory, and I always try to find a way to incorporate MyStory into lessons. I thought this part of the lesson went really well. Students were familiar with the application, they can draw, color, and speak into the microphone all while producing a product that promotes learning. What 5 and 6 year old doesn't love that? I also used the SockPuppet application for the first time. It was really neat to see students create their own characters and have conversations about syllables through the use of sock puppets. This app was user friendly and appropriate for Kindergarten students. The app was fun, engaging, and students were accomplishing the objective of the lesson: identifying correct amount of syllables in 1 and 2 syllable words.
For formative assessment, I used Today's Meet, Quizizz, and PollEv. Quizizz is an application that my students had used before, so it went reallly well and reviewed letter recognition which is a huge concept in Kindergarten. Using Today's Meet did not go as well. The students had a hard time typing their name because they didn't know where the letters were on the keyboard. This activity required a lot of adult support. If I used this application again, I would practice with pretend keyboards at a station first. Keyboarding is so vital and important to master in our world today. We could practice spelling, typing, and a variety of different activities while practicing finding keys on the keyboard.
For summative assessment our class took a Kahoot Quiz. My kids love Kahoot. As our school has just went one to one this past year, we have been able to incorporate a lot of technology into lessons. My students are very familiar with Kahoot, and this was a great way to display their knowledge of sylllables. This assessment also provided me as the teacher with data to show what students still needed additional support in order to meet the learning objective.
Overall, the lessons were filled with engaging activities that kept the students on task for the duration of the entire lesson. They enjoyed working in small groups to create a MyStory and they also enjoyed working individually to create SockPuppets. The learning objective for the lesson was accomplished.

Student Created Products
The students will draw pictures of one, two, three, four, and five syllable words. After drawing the picture, the students will take a picture using the MyStory App and record their voice saying, “hassyllables.” Attached below is the MyStory my class created.
